Creating a positive culture in schools means engaging parents and caregivers in meaningful dialogue that creates sustainable change. The Parent Involvement Committee (PIC/PRO/Innovation) Grant offers a unique opportunity to take a community-centred approach to enhancing students’ sense of well-being, belonging, and agency in the world to help them reach their full potential.
We teach parents how to support their child’s well-being and sense of identity in the world by coaching them to be their best, most authentic selves. Our programs bridge well-being and inclusion & belonging initiatives in schools.
Our interactive sessions include activities, guidance, and feedback to make them more interactive. Parents walk away with practical strategies they can use, even at the dinner table!
Have an idea for a custom workshop? We love to collaborate!
Captains & Poets creates positive cultures in schools from students themselves.
To help you make the most of your parent outreach, we also offer accompanying Student Workshops to showcase student work and bring the theme of your Parent Workshop to life in the student body.
